Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

This amazing Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce is going to be your new best friend! It comes together in a flash and oh those tomatoes, cream and pasta…..topped with a dusting of cheese. It’s perfect in its simple little way.

Sometimes, a cuppa cream has gotta hit the pan. I mean how much chicken and veggies can one girl eat?

If I am going to splurge on a bowl of pasta, you can bet it’s going to have tomatoes and cream in it. The simple combo just leaves me all happy and stuff. (I did have broccoli on the side BTW, it’s all about balance :).

Ooooooo I love a good pour shot and that cream going into the red sauce is making me very, very happy. It’s restaurant quality meal you can make at home in no time !

With only a handful of ingredients, this Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce recipe is one you will keep around for awhile. Hit that print button!

Saute some onions and garlic in a little butter and olive oil. Toss in the tomato sauce, let it cook down a bit…then hit it with the cream. Not half and half my friends, cream. Make up those 40 calories somewhere else. The little bit of cream in this is the show stopper!

Besides being incredibly easy to make, this makes a ton of pasta. I’m gonna be knocking on neighbors doors giving this stuff away. My neighbors really, really like me.

I used linguine because I figured it was ‘thinner’ and lower in calories than fettuccine. The rational of a chub-o is an amazing thing. You don’t wanna be in this head….

Tips to make Pasta in Tomato Cream Sauce:.

Use any kind of pasta you like, this is all about the sauce. Penne, bow tie, wagon wheels, doesn’t matter.

Add cooked chicken or sausage if you need a protein.

Taste test, adding salt and pepper as you go. This should go without saying, but I forget all the time and it can make or break a dish.

To a little bit of cream and pasta in my life…followed by broccoli for dessert!

Made this for dinner tonight and it was excellent! Very rich, creamy and comforting. It was extremely easy too, yet it tasted like it was a lot more work than it was.

I was looking for a good creamy sauce to recreate my husband’s favorite dish from a local restaurant, lobster diablo. I think this will fit perfectly once I add red pepper flakes and steamed lobster at the end.

So good, thank you so much!

PS this is better than Marcella Hazan’s tomato cream sauce and I love her recipes.
